PK is a comedy, drama and fantasy film that is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and stars Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and Saurabh Shukla.
With the film portraying a major talking topic but shown through a lightened humour form, the directors creativity in representing such methods within the script allows this entertainer to be worthy. Aamir Khan once again puts in a performance that betters his last film; this is what he is good at. He continues to better his previous film and role, with every movie release he just keeps getting better and better. No wonder why he is labelled as Mr Perfectionist in the cinema.
Synopsis – Aamir Khan plays a character of being from out of space and is stranded on Earth, his chain pendant was a key to call back the spaceship but a villager hence why Aamir Is left stranded stole it. The film is similar to OMG movie where so much is placed and trusted upon religion and god, hence this is exactly how the film begins with Saurabh Shukla being a holy priest laying down the marker for ones future. But Aamir Khan’s character is there to go against the religious rituals that seem to be a business. He fights against it all and showcases some worthy pointers in proving that nobody can do anything and that god is someone who created everything, not the holy baba’s that are duplicates trying to make fortune out of gods name. Anushka Sharma plays a journalist who helps create the show from which Aamir Khan gains fame but more importantly shows the world who is watching the truth and what and how they should believe in god. Boman Irani plays the boss of the news channel who has a helping hand in allowing Anushka Sharma to allow the show to happen. All in all, the film casts shadows over a societies mentality and how ones facts blind them.
As for the negatives I have to think about Sushant’s character where he had so much potential of being an actor that can act but never gets to fulfil his acting abilities in a major film by playing small roles. Anushka meets Sushant but his character despite being very nice and something you want to see more off, was erased within 20 minutes of the movie and I felt that was a downer completely as more could have been showcased with his presence. But nevertheless, Sushant does get dragged back in to the film towards the climax and once again not enough was shown of him.
What more that I liked about this film was the dialogues, they were on point and delivered quite well, they were something that as a viewer, you can recall back and remember quite easily because they were so worthy. Unlike some films where dialogues are placed in and totally bypasses the viewer as it never quite seeks the attention. But in PK dialogues were strong and attention grabbing hence why PK keeps you interested at all times. The storyline is good but considering it being an Aamir Khan starrer, his acting and on screen presence takes away some of the notice from the story concept itself as he delivers a commanding performance. I have to mention that Anushka Sharma and Aamir Khan pairing in this film was brilliant and they just gelled together on screen so well.
As for the characters, as mentioned earlier, Aamir Khan is the main star and once again puts in a remarkable performance and it makes you wonder if only he could do more films in the year and keeps doing eye-catching performances at all times. Anushka Sharma, who plays a journalist in the film, is a character that you will end up loving because she is not shown over the top being glamorous but she is displayed as a blending person who fits in well with Aamir Khan. Boman Irani is funny and serious and that helps the film role flow. Saurabh Shukla plays a holy person whose character is deemed as a fraud hence why dialogues directed towards him bring laughter for the viewers. Sushant plays a small but vital role and he is somebody that as an audience you would want to see more of. Sanjay Dutt has a small role too but plays a huge significance to the life of Aamir Khan and for that he is still remembered by the time you end up finishing the movie.
Now for the movie soundtrack there were 2 songs that really stood out for me were firstly, ‘Bhagwan Hai Kahan Re Tu’ and secondly, ‘Dil Darbadar’. These tracks really grabs your attention and are songs that you can listen to over on repeat, the rest of the album is average and not something that I would be playing continuously. So do go check out these 2 songs as they are composed and sung really well.
Overall, PK is a must watch movie and it is something that can be watched more than once. It has been directed really well and the storyline progresses quiet well in terms of keeping the viewers attention locked to the movie. Characters played well in their respectful roles as well as Aamir Khan taking away the entire spotlight as he always does with his amazing performances. I rate this movie 4/5and for me it could have taken all 5 rating stars if the film had been dragged longer especially the show scene which I felt ended in a flash and not showing what Saurabh Shukla has to deal with especially from the community and the audience whom were present. But unfortunately not everything can be picture perfect. Despite having so much buzz around the release for this film, it certainly lived up to the expectations and is an admirable watch. Note to take, expect a cameo from Ranbir Kapoor in the movie too.
